I’m brimming with the season.

[Always have been – always will be.]

This holiday, however, is going to be an itsy-bitsy different from what I’m typically accustomed to.

“Tradition is a guide and not a jailer.” – W. Somerset Maugham

That’s okay, though, because it’s my first Christmas with D [awe + bliss], and since D’s work schedule is what it is, we’re starting our celebrating today.

We’re going to see Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas at the Old Globe, then we’re chowing down on some delicious Italian at Caldo Pomodoro for supper, gift swapping afterwards [I can hardly wait to give D his present], and ending with some good ole flicks [wouldn’t be right if we didn’t watch Christmas Vacation, right?!].

Now I’m not saying this will always be what we always do, but it’s a start 😉

Wherever the holiday finds you and yours today or tomorrow, I hope it’s a ho-ho-happy one!
